Marijuana-Infused Treats Arrive in Chicago
Mindy Segal, a James Beard Award winning pastry chef and author of “Cookie Love,” is cooking up sweets with a not-so-secret ingredient.
Forgive Chicago chef Mindy Segal if she’s a little high on herself.
The owner of beloved local spot and author of cookbook “Cookie Love” is about to unveil marijuana-infused sweets.
Segal, a James Beard Award winner, told the Associated Press that she’s experimenting with three different flavors of brittle, including one that includes salted toffee; smoked almonds with dark chocolate; and possibly graham crackers and caramelized marshmallows.
The sale of medical marijuana became legal in Illinois last month.
